Have you recorded something to your sd card?
If so, you can just use drag and drop from windows explorer.

If you're talking about capturing video from the minidv tape, then you need to connect using a firewire (IEEE1394/dv) cable not usb.

Do I need special sofware in case of using firewire??

No special software needed for using Firewire. Any drivers are included with either WinXP or Vista.

When transferring (capture) video using Firewire, you should transfer the video in it's native DV format. We also recommend using the Type-1, and not Type-2 DV.
